Me = Bandit
Cause I made out like one.
Mom sent a very cool new blue tye-dye crinkle skirt, and a dress in my favorite batik pattern - purple with turquoise stars and moons. She also hid a little something in the card.
benabik and btoblake have a box of pre-bought stuff which would make good gifts for various friends. Thus I got a sculpture of a red dragon hatching.
I was able to get that gift due to deciding at the last minute to drive up to Rochester this weekend. The inspiration for this was Colleen, who was very fortuitously in the area. Visiting a friend just in time for my birthday was great.
I also got LARP for my birthday. I don't really get to game much anymore, so this was exceedingly cool. Even better was being handed an NPC character sheet with elder Protean, and Potence, and Fortitude, and Celerity, and Valeran. Sadly, the character didn't get to kill anything, but not for lack of trying. It was very vulnerable to Dread Gaze, and spent a bunch of time up a tree in Mist Form, hiding.
I then arrived back home in time for a party at work today - the annual staff reception. So I got cake, and there was a harpist.
And getting to my apartment after the party, I checked my mail. It's here! pelelandra sent me a copy of Terry Pratchett's new book "Nation" from England. And it arrived just in time. The British Edition not only has a better cover, but this one is signed: "To Robin, Happy Birthday!"
W00t!
